Institute/Center Specific InformationThe NHLBI support training programs to prepare individuals to become productive researchers in the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and blood; in sleep disorders; and in the uses of blood and blood resources.

Institute/Center Specific InformationProspective applicants are encouraged to read “A Vision for the Future of Genomics Research” (http://www.nhgri.nih.gov/11006873) to familiarize themselves with the research areas of interest to the Institute. We strongly encourage interdisciplinary applications from institutions that can demonstrate academic excellence in genomics, proteomics, the quantitative sciences and one or more of the non-biological scientific disciplines appropriate for genomic/proteomic analyses and interpretation, have outstanding faculties that are committed and are willing to cooperate in developing genomics/proteomic sciences training program with a strong emphasis on the development, rather than the application, of new technologies, have access to a pool of highly qualified graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and can develop sound training plans. Program Directors are happy to discuss with potential applicants their concept for this initiative during the development stages of the application.

Institute/Center Specific Information: The NIDCR welcomes applications from postdoctoral scientists seeking to conduct research in social, behavioral, biomedical, and biological science fields relevant to the NIDCR Strategic Plan (http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/AboutNIDCR/StrategicPlan/default.htm). Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to a career in oral health research.

Institute/Center Specific Information: NIDDK supports the training of postdoctoral MD, Ph.D., or equivalent, fellows in the areas of research supported by the Institute: diabetes, endocrinology, metabolic diseases; gastroenterology, hepatology, obesity, nutrition; and kidney, urologic, and hematologic disorders. Applicants are encouraged to contact the appropriate NIDDK program director before beginning the process of applying for a fellowship. Ph.D. postdoctoral fellows with more than three years of research postdoctoral experience may wish to consider applying for the NIDDK K01 Award (PAR-05-066).

Training opportunities supported under this announcement by the NIEHS are expected to focus on the environmental health sciences and be responsive to the mission of the NIEHS, which is to reduce the burden of human illness and dysfunction from environmental causes by understanding how environmental factors, individual susceptibility and age interrelate in the disease process.

Fellowship proposals should examine/address how an environmentally relevant toxicant or exposure is, or might be, involved in a human health endpoint such as a specific human disease, dysfunction, pathophysiologic condition, or relevant disease process. Examples of environmentally relevant toxicants include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, and fungal/bacterial or biologically derived toxins. Agents considered non-responsive to this announcement include, but are not limited to: alcohol, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, chemotherapeutic agents, radiation which is not a result of an ambient environmental exposure, and infectious or parasitic agents, except when agents are disease co-factors to an environmental toxicant exposure to produce the biological effect.

Fellowship proposals may include research in the Environmental Public Health field in which communities which are exposed to environmental exposures or have concerns about environmentally related diseases are actively engaged in all stages of research, dissemination and evaluation. Examples of proposals in the Environmental Public Health field include investigating the health effects / impacts of environmental exposures that disproportionately burden low income or minority communities, investigating emerging environmental threats to communities, investigating exposure-related diseases that are of great concern to a community, and research and evaluation methodology to improve the theories and implementation strategies for working with communities to address their environmental health concerns. Fellows would learn how to conduct research using community based participatory methods, create outreach and education programs and translate research finding to a vast array of stakeholders.

Institute/Center Specific InformationSpecific information on NIGMS F32 awards including FAQs can be found at: http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Training/IndivPostdoc/
NIGMS policy is to provide support for 3 years minus any time that the fellow has already spent in the sponsor's laboratory at the time of the award (see NIH Guide Notice at NOT-97-023).

Institute/Center Specific InformationNIMH accepts F32 applications for review and possible funding that are within the areas of research supported by the five scientific divisions of the Institute (see http://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/compon.cfm for links to the five divisions and their interests and priorities). Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Institute staff (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/grants/pocontacts.pdf) prior to preparing an application.

Institute/Center Specific InformationTo provide postdoctoral research training to nurse scientists to broaden their scientific backgrounds and extend their potential for research. NINR supports and conducts clinical and basic research and research training on acute and chronic illness across the life span, focusing on health promotion, disease prevention, health disparities, care-giving, management of symptoms, self-management, and care at the end of life. NINR seeks to extend nursing science by integrating the biological and behavioral sciences, applying new technologies to nursing research questions, improving the quality and effectiveness of interventions, and developing nursing research investigators. In so ding, the Institute is helping to address the critical shortage of nursing faculty, which both contributes to, and is affected by, the increasing gap between the supply and demand for nurses in the workforce. Applicants for NINR support may not use the F32 to obtain a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP). The sponsor must have active funding in the same research area as the applicant during the proposed award period. In addition to the required Termination Notice, A Final Report must be submitted to the NINR. Stipend is based on experience: $36,996 to $51,036, tuition and fee formula amount, plus annual institutional allowance as described in the NRSA guide announced in the NIH guide for Grants & Contracts annually.

Institute/Center Specific Information
NIAAA sponsors a variety of fellowship and career development programs to ensure the training of highly qualified new investigators in alcohol-related research. Training opportunities under this announcement include mentored research in the social, behavioral, biological and mathematical sciences as related to alcohol abuse and alcoholism. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate institute staff prior to preparing an application.

Institute/Center Specific Information
The NIDCD conducts the initial peer review of applications for this fellowship program within its Scientific Review Branch, based on an expedited schedule of four-five months from submission to award. In order to maintain this schedule, it is imperative that applicants submitting applications that are determined, upon consultation with the Institute’s Research Training Officer to be within the scientific purview of the NIDCD, concurrently send, at the time of submission to the NIH Center for Scientific Review, one of the application copies and all sets of appendix materials, if any, to:

Applications that are incomplete at the time of submission or are late will be deferred or returned.

The NIDCD expects that training in the responsible conduct of research be taken within the format of a semester-long course or seminar series, allowing for face-to-face discussion of material presented and assigned. Applicants who have not completed such training within the last three years should describe their plan to take another course or seminar series in the responsible conduct of research to update their knowledge in this dynamically changing domain.

Answers to common queries about NIDCD-specific fellowship policies and procedures are provided in the following document: NIDCD Fellowship FAQs
